The freshman darling of the Democrat party Alexandria Ocasio Cortez predicted this week that the world has twelve years left before man-made global warming brings it to an end. To keep this event from happening she wants us to pay seventy percent income tax.

I say that to hell with paying seventy-percent income tax to prevent the event. I say apply it to a world-wide party celebrating like crazy before we all meet our end.

Paying seventy-percent income tax would bring our world to an end as we know it. Certainly we would become another socialist success story like Venezuela, and if that happens we might as well have Antarctica melt and flood the world. Didn’t Noah build an ark to save the world from a great flood. Didn’t he have to load the ark with two of every species of living thing so when the floods receded the world could again begin anew?

I read recently that the arc was found on top of a mountain in the mid-east. If we suffer a massive ice melt like Antarctica the oceans around the world would rise several feet. If the story about the ark is true and it was found atop a mountain, it says the world survived a greater flood than that which will come from Antarctica melting.

Scientifically, I think melting Antarctica will take something more dramatic than an immeasurable rise in temperature from high CO2 in the atmosphere. I think it would take an angular shift of the earth’s axis of about fifteen to thirty degrees to put Antarctica directly into the sun’s rays. If that shift were to happen it won’t matter how much tax the socialists want to charge the world will be very different, and North America will have very long winters and the Arctic ice mass will become huge. Canada and the northern half of the USA will have winters with twenty hours of darkness and four hours of low-level light a day. Argentina will become the new winter playground of the world.

All of this calamity would happen but the man-made CO2 problem will be the same.

WOW! Where do I begin? There are too many topics to discuss and I’m too old and tired to write about all of them. Before I go to the topic I selected let me just say I hope the kid who stood his ground against the crazy Indian beating his drum sues and breaks the backs of every one who falsely accused him of starting the mayhem. The fake news thing is getting way out of hand. As I’ve stated before this is a war and fake news is another weapon being used.

Now, for what I want to talk about. Democrats and never Trumpers played right into Trump’s hand with their reaction to his agreement to suspend negotiations until after the government reopens. Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi reacted as expected, i.e. “he caved,” “I hope he has learned a lesson from this,” etc.

What I see is a President who is genuinely trying to solve a serious problem and is trying everything in his power to solve it. He tried to get the democrats to negotiate by shutting down the government. The Dem’s didn’t budge and he saw the hurt put on the precious government workers with all of their job perks and Cadillac insurance plans, and vacations were getting by missing a single paycheck. He changed his demand of money for a wall to trading a wall for DACA. Then he changed it to I’ll take a down payment for the wall and give you DACA. The Dem’s remained steadfast in their resolve to forbid him the wall. Nancy demanded that Dem’s would not come to the table unless the government re-opened. Okay, so let’s try that. We’ll see how it works out. My guess is that Trump will have to use another strategy to get the wall. What he wants is not selfish like the offer the Dem’s put forth, it is simply to do what his job description demands that he do, protect the country and the Constitution.

In the meantime, the Swamp organized a major bureaucracy to call in sick. The Air Controller Union mysteriously decided not to work for free, and three major airports stalled in traffic. Remember when President Reagan fired air-controllers for not doing their jobs? I do. The country survived. Trump’s mistake is in not playing hardball with those government workers who refuse to work. Controllers are not losing their pay, it is merely being delayed. My eyes are gushing alligator tears for these poor people and their union oligarchs. The country went through eight years of reduced air traffic during the great recession and not a single Controller lost his job as a result. I wish I could say the same about all of my friends who were laid off because their company sales dropped to half of what it was before Obama transformed us into greatly confused people.

Every democrat who is solidly against giving Trump his request to build a wall is on record as being in support of the wall. The wall is a way to control people flooding in at a rate we cannot absorb. President Obama’s solution was to load the flood on airplanes and fly them to undisclosed locations in the middle of the night. I am sure the immigration laws do not approve of secretly moving illegals into the country. Who cares about laws anyway? The only ones who care at this time are those who want to use laws to damage Trump. Does the word impeachment strike a bell?. Whenever a law puts a democrat in jeopardy, the law becomes invisible like the hypocrisy of the Department of Justice’s treatment of Hillary on her many violations. They won’t even listen to an argument, she is totally innocent of any wrong doing. The Justice Department is a huge sanctuary for democrat politicians.

Politicians are taking the wrong approach to solving this problem. One idea I have not heard discussed yet is this: Annex Mexico and the eight Central American countries as states in the USA. We need workers, and the people of these countries want to come here. Our companies wouldn’t have to negotiate complicated trade deals to get cheap labor, and politicians would be in heaven with all the new voters they could control. The border will be open and movement between the Americas would be totally unfettered. There would be fewer flags burned because they would be burning their own flag when doing so. We will build a short wall similar to the one in China between Panama, and Columbia at a cost much less than that of the wall between Mexico and the USA. Mexicans would be in heaven since they will in effect be regaining the land they lost during the Mexican-American war. Mexican drug cartels will be happy since their cost to market will be much less. The DEA will be elated at the prospect of taking on the Cartels with early morning raids in FBI style. Democrats will piss themselves with delight over inheriting so many more corrupt towns to control using the Richard J. Daley system of rule. (Actually, I think our upper 48 state democrats will learn some new tricks from their lower nine counterparts.

One problem I have with annexing this many new states is the design of our flag. How would we arrange the stars to expand the field to fifty-nine and still look good?

My conclusion is that the border wall will be completed and paid for by 2020, and the democrats will be taking full credit for it even though there won’t be a single vote from them to approve it. They will still be holding their breath and stomping their feet in anger hoping to stop Trump from doing what is right for America.

A few weeks ago I posted a piece about how the united States is in a civil war. Today, I heard another reason to support the premise. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has denied President Trump the use of the Congressional Chamber for the yearly State of the Union Address. She is playing poker with the president to see who folds first on the government shutdown matter. I read another news bit that Congressperson Nancy has also stated she has the same power as that of the President. Since the Legislative branch has equal power along with the Judicial and Executive branches. As Speaker she is third in line to get the presidency if both the president and vice president are unable to fulfill the job. She salivates over the prospect. Nancy you are not presidential material.

What I see in all of this is a flat-out refusal by Congress to legislate that which is good for the country. Nancy and Senator Schumer have both publicly stated in the past that we need border control and immigration reform. Yet, they refuse to work on a deal with the president to give him the money needed to build a wall as part of border control. This smacks of treason in my mind. They are refusing to do what they have sworn to do, that is, to protect the country over their party’s power. What I see here is a coup where the Democrat Congress is trying to usurp the President’s authority. Add this to the previous argument about the democrats refusing to recognize the elected leaders, and the war escalates. At some point bullets will begin to fly.

A government shut-down usually means people don’t get paid. The modern shutdown engineered by Congress insures that the Administration, Congress, the Supreme Court and most of the bureaucracies get paid. Congress wrote all of that into law, and you better believe that is one law they enforce. There is a small part of people whom they have defined as being non-essential, like museum curators, National Park workers and the like. These are the people who will get their pay delayed.I feel for these people whose lives suddenly take a turn for the worse. I cannot imagine what I would do if my income stopped.

The press and all the Democrats and too many Republicans are also beginning to support the delay negotiations for border security until the government reopens. A very sad affair.

Where were these people in 2008 when the economy tanked and millions of people found themselves without a pay check? Somehow they learned to survive with help from the government. A lot of people lost their homes, cars, and some families broke up. Life was tough. The situation lasted up until Trump became president and jump-started the economy to the point where people again have jobs. People suffered for eight years. During this time those who are classified as non-essential received a paycheck. It didn’t matter that millions of people didn’t have the money to visit the museums, and the National Parks they kept getting paid. I never heard of anyone who lost a job tell me that as soon as business picked up they would get back pay. I didn’t hear that because that never happens when companies lay you off or go out of business.

With the economy booming and jobs being plentiful I am certain these non-essential people can get temporary employment to survive until Trump and Congress solves the border crisis. Certainly it won’t take eight years like the recession did, but it can last up to two years.

I whole heartedly support President Trumps tactic to keep the shut-down going until Congress agrees to negotiate.

I remember when President Reagan ran into a similar situation during his term. The Democrats got to him and promised him everything he wanted in the way of immigration reform as soon as the shut down ended. He took the bait and guess what? Congress shoved the promise right up his presidential ass. They did succeed in screwing up the laws so we have the current situation. It has to change and it won’t until both sides agree to talk. President Trump has repeatedly brought the leaders to the table attempting to resolve the problem. Each time the Senate and Congress brought the talks into stalemate.

If I were a non-essential government worker I’d be entering my résumé data online to find some job opportunities. Congress hasn’t been able to do jack-shit since 2008, and they have forgotten the meaning of the word work. They are a bunch of non-effective non-essential workers who get paid much too much for nothing.

This evening’s carnival of political theater wasn’t funny. I thought President Trump in his effort to sound presidential sounded too bland. On the other side I thought Chuck and Nancy were a bit off the wall (pun intended) when they argued to not build a wall. What was funny, however, was the fact that my cable service was down and I had to watch on regular TV. I chose channel 5 NBC. The show between shows i.e. between the President and the democratic response was the party of main stream media spewing Trump hate and belittling his speech from all aspects. I didn’t think a news program was supposed to frame the story from the communist perspective.

If the democrats really believe that walls don’t work why don’t they tear down the border wall between Mexico and California? I wonder what would happen? What would their argument be for keeping the wall up?

Why doesn’t Past President Obama tear down the wall around his Washington D.C. home.

Why don’t we include removing walls from every penitentiary in the country as part of prison reform?

Borders are imaginary lines dividing land. The Kurds who so valiantly helped fight ISIS are a people without borders. They are a nomadic bunch. They wish they had a piece of land to call home. The trouble is that none of the countries in the mId-east will give them any. The Turks keep driving them into Iraq and the Iraqis drive them back. It has gone on for centuries. Have we learned? NO, we insist on removing borders so people can become nomadic like they were when Pilgrims landed on these shores..

As I stated above if we remove the fence between California and Mexico, but build a wall from Yuma, Arizona to the Gulf of Mexico all immigration will move through that open portal into California Dreaming territory. I predict within three years we will have to build a second wall extending from Yuma, Arizona northward to Spokane, Washington. The outflow of Californians fleeing Utopia will be over whelming. We might as well just concede the liberal states of California, Oregon, and Washington to Mexico.

When Lee Iacocca introduced the idea of globalization he visioned people all over the world making things for cars. His concept kept the people in their home countries and promoted jobs. Car companies would take advantage of the low labor costs and begin buying parts from the lowest cost supplier. It was a grand idea, and much of his concept is working. The smart ass Progressives then began promoting globalization as a way to equalize all humans. They thought that by emulating the concept of what made America exceptional Europe and the world could become one happy integrated place. Why they ever thought an Italian would want to be like a Frenchman or a Dane wanting to be like a Syrian is beyond me. But that grand scheme is what the Globalists want for us. The scheme is so far away from what made America great that it is bound to fail before it ever begins. The immigrants that came to America, and who made it great came here because they wanted a better life. When they arrived they adopted America as their home country, they learned tp speak the language the best they could, they worked their asses off, and they paid their taxes. This all happened before our great Progressive leaders began to feel workers needed a safety net of benefits to keep voting for them.

Today’s migrant comes for a number of reasons: One to make a better life just like they did a hundred years ago. Two, they come for the benefits. Three, they come as refugees who need a place to live. I’m sure there are many more reasons people come to America, but I’m too tired to elaborate.

There are roughly seven billion people in the world. Just think if they all came here to get a piece of the better world. Wouldn’t it make better sense to let them make their own place better? The problem lies with a lack of patience. Evolution takes years and these people want everything now just like we do. Another problem lies with the leaders they choose who very often become very rich dictators who revel at the suffering of their people. One way to install communism in the world is to place a dictator in each country. Program the dictator to keep the people equal in every way, and the easiest way to do that is to keep them all very poor. That is exactly what would happen to the USA if the entire world population descended upon us through that open portal between California and Mexico.

The Democrat argument about re-opening the government to help all those starving families has me thinking the shut-down is backwards. I believe the most non-essential people in government are the 435 in Congress. I’m sure if each of these politicians had to scrimp for a meal they would think twice about stalemating legislation. Instead they have protected themselves from all harm by writing the shutdown rules to sacrifice the poor schlocks who aren’t really needed. So why do we have non-essential jobs? One word, votes.
